Guest Classicz Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I am comepletly new to restoring vehicles. I have a 68' Impala 327 that needs some new speakers and a new radio. I was planning on getting a newer radio and then buy a stock one to put back in when I decide to sell it. But I was mainly wondering if I put new Speakers in my car if it will make a difference in value. If so, should I figure out a way to get stock speakers?

Guest ken bogren Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Anything you do that damages the stock parts of the car will devalue it if you want to sell it to a preservationist.That includes cutting into the door panels, kick panels, or package shelf.Some cars offered rear speakers as an option. If yours is one of those, and you use the factory holes in the package shelf with factory style speaker grilles you would probably be ok.

Guest Classicz Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ok thanks and before i touch the car if I purchase a Speaker that fits right will the old audio setup work with the new speaker or will I have to run new wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
